Bookmark A shopping trip out with hubby, new garden ornaments with a few beers to keep hubby happy.

in #life6 years ago

Me and hubby had our shopping trip to Home Bargains, i spent a small fortune again.

We stayed in all day waiting for my daughter to finish work at 3pm as she wanted to come with us but when the time arrived and she had got in from work she was to tired to come so it was just me and hubby. I am actually glad she didn't as i spent enough, with her there i would have spent double the amount. I think i over spent a little £78, i do get carried away once i go there, just as well we shop there once a month.

I had a good shop whereas hubby was fed up after the first 5 minutes, he did cheer up when we reached the beer aisle and he got to pick a few treats for being a good boy. I had to add a few things for my garden, well that's why i go there.

I bought:

2 Bird houses
3 Solar Flowers
1 Packet of bird feed balls

I love the bird houses as on the top is a little shelf where you can add bird feed or a few plants, I prefer the idea of bird food, hoping it attracts a few birds to my garden, fingers crossed the seagulls and pigeons don't see it. I don't think i will get any birds moving into the houses, i would be happy enough seeing a few smaller birds enjoying the food. I was extra happy with the houses being reduced from £7.99 each to £1.99 each, a nice £12.00 saving,

Once we got home hubby helped me attach the box's to the fences where i added the food. Now the warm weather is here i am expecting to see bit more wild life in this garden now it is finished... Only took us 30 years.

I have 3 Rose pots in my back garden, this is where i wanted to place my new Solar Flower Lights, the lights actually flash, once they start to work properly i will take a video, they do stand out and will do more the darker it gets.

They only had these 3 colours, Blue, Purple & Yellow. I would love a few in different colours to put in my other pots. I wanted another solar house from there but when i checked they only had 4 left and all of them had breaks so i left them on the shelf.

I would like a few more fence ornaments for mu back garden but think i will wait until the end of the season when the shops start selling them off cheaper then i will have a few to add for next years garden, I am thinking ahead.


Thank you @son-of-satire

Sort:  

Here, you would have to watch out for mice with bird seed being so easily available on a fence.
Good thinking waiting for autumn sales for more decorations.
Your garden is looking good.

Arghh good thinking MR, never considered the mice...

It could be a good thing your daughter couldn't make it to keep costs down, those birdhouses are so cool and I look forward to seeing the new lights in a video when they have charge d up

Have a good week ahead

Thank you and the same to you :)

Oh I love those bird houses and it's design on putting food up-top.

Aren't they really cool :)

You are providing great habitat for birds in your garden! Do you have a water source for them?

Thank you and yes I have a bird bath, i am going to move it closer to the houses :)

They will love your garden!
